The Problem With... Usher's "DJ Got Us Falling In Love"

Take it from someone who's been there: DJs have great power if they do their job right.

They can get people to shake, sweat, and pick invisible apples. But I can't remember ever getting people in the crowd to fall in love. I guess it wouldn't hurt to get back on the turntables and try doing that sometime? Maybe I will.

So, what has Usher been up to these past few months? Well, he's prepping
for the VMAs, dropping a surprisingly good single with Jay-Z called "Hot
Tottie," and singing with a goat.

Usher's got another
single on the charts too these days: "DJ Got Us Falling In Love." It's another
attempt by Usher to expand his boundaries and attain an electronic
sound. Only, this time, it sounds more like a forgettable track from Taio
Cruz than from a makeout-enabling R&B artist.

Guesting for
the track is my friend and yours, the money-allergic Pitbull. I like
call his guest lines "pitgin," where Pitbull throws out his rapid-fire
pidgin of English and Cuban Spanish.

Anyway, speaking of lyrics: Usher's lines in the track have a few lemons as well. Along
with your usual repeating of one word a few times, there's a line in the beginning
compares his state to a zombie coming back to life.
